On the unproduced scripts page we have thirty seven scripts up for your reading pleasure. On the movie scripts page we have, thanks to MovieSet.com the script to a new indie movie about professional wrestling – Kayfabe. Lastly, thanks to Christopher and Orion Press for these two treatments by Harlan Ellison for Star Trek: City on the Edge of Forever. That would be on the TV scripts page. – Don

Shout out to Martin. His script Anniversary (rtf format) was filmed by Randy Slavin and the film based on Martin’s script Anniversary is a semi-finalist in Fox’s ‘On The Lot’ reality show. You can see the film here.

Thanks to JBM and nazardo for the heads up on these courtesy of “not me” and Daily script. Motor over to the movie scripts page to read the March, 2006 draft of Christopher Landon’s Disturbia (a hipper version of “Rear Window”) and Gary Goldman’s Next (based on ‘The Golden Man’ by Philip K. Dick).

Apologies to all you screenwriters on the ‘net who have submitted scripts this month. I’m behind on getting them up. I hope to catch up this weekend (pray for rain, otherwise I’ll be out mucking about in the garden).

You all know that, in addition to reading scripts, I’m a big fan of short speculative fiction. I’ve mentioned Escape Pod which podcasts science fiction and fantsy short fiction (btw, Escape Pod is broadcasting, for the next month or so, all the 2007 Hugo nominated short stories) and Variant Frequencies which podcats science fiction, fantasy, horror and ‘odd bands in between’.
To round out the trifeca, check out Well Told Tales which podcasts science fiction, horror and hard boiled short fiction. (listen to Hand of God wherein a young scientist, determined to win the affection and respect of her distant father, breaks the space-time continuum to fix the worst blown call in sports history.) – Don

Finally, the writers of the One Week Exercise are revealed.

On the Unproduced Scripts page there are 15 new or revised scripts up.

Lastly, thanks to anonymous and daily script you can read The Lookout and Letters from Iwo Jima. Those would be on the Movie Script page. – Don

Over on the Unproduced Scripts page we have over thirty original scripts up. I cleared a huge backlog of scripts received over the past month.

As mentioned, we had a pretty good response to the April One Week Exercise. Soon I’ll be revealing who really wrote what.

On the Movie Scripts page we have two thanks to Daily Script. Read the academy award nominated Little Children and the Peckinpah Cross of Iron. – Don

Thanks to Jen for the heads up on these from TimMinear.net who has posted the final shooting scripts for the first four episodes of DRIVE! Beware, though: Due to some changes in the editing suite, some scenes that were written for Episodes 103 and 104 were shifted to later episodes. So there are BIG plot spoilers ahead. Check them out on the TV scripts page.

Remember, you have a couple of days and a few hours change to get your short, 15 page or less comedy script (in proper screenwriting format) on the theme of ?Telling your spouse that you lost your job? in for the One Week Exercise. – Don

Thanks to Rain for the heads up on Charlie Kaufman’s latest script Synecdoche, New York. This is an undated, unspecified, probably early draft about a theater director struggling with his work, and the women in his life, as he attempts to create a life-size replica of New York inside a warehouse as part of his new play. Read the script via imdb.com discussion board. – Don

The folks over at Film Ick have posted what is purported to be excerpts from the script The Dark Knight (filmed under the fake title “Rory’s First Kiss”). Read part one here and part two here

Tick, tock. Time is ticking to get your short in for the One Week Exercise wherein you have until Friday, April 27th at midnight of your timezone to write a 15 page or less script (in proper screenwriting format) on the theme of “Telling your spouse that you lost your job.” Genre: Comedy. – Don

Breaking news from N who writes, Hey… I was on IMDB and just noticed that M Night Shyamalan’s new movie The Happening for 2008 is listed. I was psyched being a big fan and this was the first I heard of it. Anyways I went to the [IMDB] message board to see what the film was about and to my surprise someone in there has been emailing the script and one post I found had a link to download the script from megaupload. …I thought I’d point out the link to you so people can download the script if they want to check it out while its on megaupload. I believe it’s a 6th draft and MNS has already done extensive rewrites, but I heard the same thing about The Village and the movie ended up almost exactly the same as the leaked script for that film. Anyways, keep up the great work… don’t know what I’d do without your site!

Thanks N!

Don
